Good Farming
Our readers will recall an article
we had sometime back concerning a i
fine yield of barley -which was grown |
by Mr. E. B. Foikshee, proprietor of
Elkc Dairy. Mr. Foushee followed
this field of barley with **oy beans,
which he sowed about the last of
June. He iias fifteen acres in soy
beans and a sample he showed us
yesterday afternoon measured f ur
feet. He says with a few more rains
he expects for it to average hotter
than five feet, and will get more
hay than he got from the barley.
This is the second crop" from this
land, and it is in better condition
than before he gathered his barley
crop. This is what we call geod
farming, and we recommend bis j
method to our farmers generally.

Joy In Labor
"The gospel freely admitted makes !
a- man happy, it gives him peace;
with God, and makes him happy in-l
G6d. It gives to industry a noble, j
contented lock which selfish drudg- !
ery never were; and from the mom- ?
ent a man begins to do his work '
for his Savior's sake, he feels that 1
the most . ordinary employments are ?
full of sweetness and dignity, and
that the most, difficult are nr?t im
po>sihle. And if any of you. my
friends, U weary with his woi'k.
-if i - r\ ' with vourse'f or
sorrow of ank kind disheartens ~you,.i
if at any time you feel the dull
paralysis of conscious sin, or the de- j
pressing infulcnce of vexing thoughts,
look to Jesus, and'be happy. Be hap- j
py, and your jcyfkll work will pros- :
per well."

Spokesman For the Three Re
ceivers of- Tobacco Market
ing- Association
INTIMATES TROUBLE
Mr. Marti:. L. Corri, of Xesv York,
acting as spokesman for the t hree
receivers of the Tri-State Tobacco
Grower' Association in- session here
this week, iaid:
".Many grower members will urT
doubtedly get less than was 1 ;ined_
I them by banks oh their certificates."
I The statement was made telatic
to "participation certificates" ;:iven
by t co-operative association to
t'i',we;s for fifty per cent of the
"bank's valuation" of the crop after
advances fcr the rirst half of the
value had been given. This was the
I' financing system - used by the asso
ciation during its first three years.
It >vas stated that maay bariks made
loans to . growers up to half the value
of these "participation certificates,"
taking the growers' note at the same
time. In the event that the final pay.!
I ments to .the farmers from the re
: ceivership are less than the adv?nces.
the individual farmer can be .-ued
on his note by the bank. Mr. Corri
stated.
Mi'- Corri stnU*d that the receivers
I. now held 57,000,000 pounds of tobac
co on which loans amount t about
?5, 000,000 or around 10. cents a
p:und. !!e said that receivership
expenses Would hot carry t his above
11 or 12 cents a pound, leaving my
excess for the growers. He stated
that so far the experience of the re
ceivership had been satisfactory and
that "we have affected extended eco-_
nomics in operatic n reducing the
pay-roll to one seventh of what it
was six months ago, showing that
the old management was extremely
extravagant and that the tobacco
can. be bought and sold more eco
nomically by receivers," Mr. Corri,
however, admitted that "it is very
hnrd to estimate What the outcome
will be."
The receivers- Who in addition to
Mr. Cctri are Hallet H. Ward, of
Washington and J. M. Pcu, of RaU
eigh. met here today with Vederal
Judge I. M. Meekins to take up rou
tine affairs of the receivership. The

Fite originating in one of the big:

centered in the roof of the tanlc
room, and burned about the only part
of the brick structure which eoald

foremen experienced seme trouble
in getting. at. the blaze, which prove<i
-very stubborn One stream of water
was played steadily on the big am
monia coils to keep them from burst
ing, in which 'event everybody would
probably have been driven from the
vicinity. tn addition to fcMe roof,
some of the machinery was badly
oamaged and will have to be re
placed. Damage will amount fc>
between $800 and $1000, with no in
surance.
Mr. M. K. Long, owner of the
plant, when seen this morning stated
that tS?y could cctitinue ? the mina

additional supply would be ordered
from Durham. He asks the kind
indulgence of his customers if their
ice has a cloudy appearance. This
in no way affects the ice, and will
be remedied as soon as new mach

<ays: "He never worries over thhigs

The "opening last Saturday by the

he was more than- pleased with *.he
reception his new store received.
